Watch as angry supporter confronts Rangers star outside Ibrox after Hearts loss

Rangers star Thelo Aasgaard was confronted by a fan outside Ibrox on Saturday after his side lost 2-0 to Heart of Midlothian.

Lawrence Shankland's double consigned Russell Martin to yet another game at the helm without a win in the Scottish Premiership.

Pressure is mounting on the Rangers boss, with his side sitting 10th in the league table.

After yesterday's defeat, Aasgaard, who completed 90 minutes in the match, stopped outside the stadium to speak to an angry supporter:

Martin refused to leave his role at Rangers despite another poor result and performance: "No," he defiantly stated when asked post-match if he would resign.

"We have a lot of new guys in there. We have a lot of players trying to feel their way in an environment that's really difficult to feel their way into their Rangers career. Really, really difficult.

"So we just have to make sure they're alright as human beings first and improve their performance. We're on the side of three poor decisions in my opinion. It's a handball for their first goal. Our goal is a goal. It's not a foul on the goalkeeper. And then Dio says he makes no contact. It's why it took so long.

"And we should have scored. We should have scored two or three. It was 1-0. We should have. But there's anxiety at the moment.

"The players are not the same team we see in training on Thursday and Friday when they go out and play in this environment right now. And that's not a criticism of anyone. So, to your emotion and your anger, I get it. I understand it. But we have to just keep working."

Rangers return to action next weekend as they welcome Hibernian to Ibrox in the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup.
